THE RUSSIAN REDDLE.

Mr. Winston Churchill, who 13 using the Press as well at the platform to circulate his ideas on questions of the day, has had something to say about the less worthy type of Jew. He is not jvlone in calling attention to these mischief-makers. It is done by Ariadna Arkova-Williams, the wife of a; New Zealander, in her book "From Liberty to Bresb-Litovsk." In one chapter she lias the following passage:—"Besides obvious foreigners, Bolshevism recruitr ed many adherents from among emigres who had spent years abroad. Some of them had never "been to Russia before. They, especially, numbered a great many Jews. They spoke Russian badly. The nation over which they had seized power was a stranger to them, and besides, they behaved as invaders in a conquered country. Throughout the Revolution generally and Bolshevism in particular, the Jews occupied a very influential position. This phenomenon is both curious and complex. But the fact remains that such wa.s the case in the primarily elected Soviet (the famous trio. Lieber, Dalm, Gotz), and all the more so in the second one. In the Soviet republic all the committees and commissaries were filled with Jews. They often changed their Jewish name for a Rusisan one, Trotsky-Bronstein, Kameneff-Rozenf eld, Zinovieff-Apf elbaum, and so on. But such a masquerade deceived no one. This Jewish predominance among Soviet authorities caused the despair of those Russian Jews who, despite the cruel injustice of the Tsarist regime, looked -upon Russia -as their motherland, who lived the common life of the Russian intelligentsia, and refused, in common with them, all collaboration with Bolsheviks.

The originator of Bolshevism, OuKanoff--1 Lenin is Russian., But tliat predominant class which very rapidly crystallised around the-Bolsheviks .wasinainly composed of individuals i-alien to the Bas-. siah people." /The authoress describes the first year of the Russian revolution. Events between 1917 and the present day arc being forgotten in view of the continued dominance of the Soviet Government and the urgent need of finding an answer to the riddle? of what the rest of tlie world is to do in the circumstances. .
